Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to visit Goa to take stock of the preparations for Lok Sabha polls.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to skip the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) summons in the excise policy case for the fourth time. The central agency issued the fourth summons to Mr Kejriwal last week, asking him to appear today. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, sources said, is unlikely to do so as he is scheduled to visit Goa to meet party workers and take stock of the preparations for Lok Sabha polls.
At a Delhi government event yesterday to see off elderly pilgrims travelling to Gujarat, Mr Kejriwal was asked about the fresh summons. "We will do whatever needs to be done according to the law," he replied.
Mr Kejriwal was first summoned to appear before ED on November 2, and then on December 21 last year. He skipped both summons. He was then asked to come in on January 3, but he cited Rajya Sabha polls and Republic Day preparations. A fresh summons was issued, asking him to appear before the agency on January 18 or 19. He is likely to skip this one too.
